Remember the lesson I did on a fish? And do you remember how I drew the most common fish around? Well, today I thought I would do another aquatic tutorial, and this time I will show you "how to draw a goldfish", step by step. This water creature is by far one of the most common domesticated pets around the world. Not only do people enjoy goldfish in their homes, they also enjoy this species in their backyard ponds. What you may not have known is, goldfish and koi fish are very close cousins. The only difference between the two is that the koi have barbels around their mouths, and goldfish do not. They are both members of the carp family, and both species come in a variety of colors and sizes. You would think that just because this animal's name starts with the word “gold”, that is the only color they come in right? Wrong. There is so many colors, sizes, and shapes to choose from and some of them you probably never even heard of before. The types of goldfish in existence are as follows: the common, cormet, fantail, shubunkin, ryukin, bubble-eyed, lionhead, ranchu, pearlscale, veil tail, black moor, and oranda goldfish. Every single specie of goldfish looks different from one another, and they all come in different sizes and shapes. To teach someone "how to draw a goldfish" is pretty simple especially when the steps and instructions are easy to follow and understand. I do hope you have fun, and I will be back later to draw live with you all. Peace out people, and happy swimming.
